What was all the talk about facebook about? I didn't see anything that had to do with facebook.

I guarantee online franchise will be a disaster. No free agency bidding? No $$? It's more like Madden 98 season mode than franchise mode. I can't believe some of you have the time to do all these manual calculations and what not. I'll pass.

He got me. I actually looked into getting a facebook account. Luckily for me, I hardly ever follow through with things like that.

Sorry if this has been answered already, did they ever confirm if you can or can not upload draft classes for online dynasty?

I could have dealt with the other two, but the lack of draft classes kills this one for me. It appears that this mode was built off the previous online leagues feature instead of being constructed around Franchise.

its a work in progress.. but as long as you put in some house rules things should be fine. and the franchise is server-based so they will be able to make adjustments...for all you know u may wake up in a month and see a message from ian saying "salary cap is now in franchise".

But it would be cool tho.

Yeah pastapadre said it in his Madden 10 impressions from E3. This is beyond bad now. I can deal with no cap and no trade logic, but no contracts? This is ridiculous to say the least. They might as well had left out online franchise this year and did the league thing again.

	The online franchises can go for as long as 10 years.

That and no NCAA imports killed that mode for me I hope offline Franchise is longer.

# 472 jerryrice4949 @ 06/06/09 07:56 PM

If there are no contracts in online franchise, how will there be any free agents, other than players people cut. Does that mean a player stays on your team until you cut him or he retires.

Also, without contracts and a salary cap how will the CPU decide who to "sign", if that is the right word since there are no contracts.

I am not trying to be critical, I just don't have a clue as to how free agency, especially with CPU teams, would even work.

It's a tweaked version of the online league mode, as I feared.

I'm under the impression that the dev team realizes this and will update the mode accordingly. They'll have my money if this happens.

Indeed. It is not really an online franchise, but a a 10 season league. It will be interesting to see how the CPU acquires players in the off season.

No contracts seems like a glaring omission. It is hard to understand how they did not get it in, wether they ran out of time or it was more complicated than they thought. A lot of people here are optimistic that something will get done, but I have a feeling they will be very disappointed when it remains as is.

I have bought every Madden since the original but this last version I only played for a month and then stopped b/c it got boring. I will pass on Madden and buy NCAA instead. The contracts, draft and trades is what makes Franchise so much fun, I can't believe EA would leave this out of a franchise. I just went from requesting a week off from work around 8/14 to taking it in July instead. EA lets us down again. After putting up this post I was reading that it looks like the commish will have alot of options. So I am once again going to buy all 3 copies. I am a Madden slave.

Dude, you need to take a deep breath and chill out. You went from planning a vacation around this game and buying 3 copies to readjusting your vacation cause the features you wanted in the game weren't in. WTF is wrong with you? Its just a video game. Life goes on my man. John Madden, Ian cummings, Madden 2010, doesnt care about you, its not personal. you shouldnt care so much about them.

As much as I like about this year, as Pasta described it, what we are getting cannot legitimately be called a "franchise."

With no trade and cap logic and no contracts, this qualifies in my mind as a broken feature. It would be better not to have it, imo.

I think the language of "broken" gets abused when evaluating games, but this seems like a legitimate application to me, and I think gamers should call EA out on this one.

We may yet receive news about additions to the mode, but right now the omissions are egregious.

I think you are a lil hard at this point. Its online franchise, to take the place of league daddy, and others sites we use. Playing in leagues you have to input stats after you play your games, now thats gone. No draft, and a re-draft for team after every season.

The Cap? Yea thats not all that great. Leagues as they are now, the only way your players get better is when they do good in real life. Then on top of that no one gets hurt. Now you can put players out for weeks, and the season. With rules in your league it can work, and still be fun.

Trade logic? Its an online franchise, ONLINE FRANCHISE. Most leagues has 32 players, no room to trade with a cpu team. You should be trading with real people, so his trade logic is not the same as yours. If it was no trades will be made. Then if someone get kicked out the league you dont trade with that team, till a new owner is found. Ill take this any day over what we have today. Then add the drafts, and seeing the rookies you pick get better, and your bud draft a bust. priceless

If you need that stuff, that bad play offline. ITS THERE
